property management for landlords

August was born in 2021 from a simple frustration. Managing a rental property in the UK is harder than it should be for UK landlords. We're changing that by building the future of property management software.

Simplify renting, for everyone.

Renting is broken. 


We’re fixing it.

Our Mission

Simplify renting, for everyone

Whether you own one property or ten, whether you're a tenant chasing a maintenance fix or a landlord navigating the Renters' Rights Act, renting should be simple, transparent, and stress-free. August exists to make that a reality.

The Problem

Most UK landlords are still managing their properties with spreadsheets, email threads, and memory. That leaves them disorganised, exposed to regulatory risk, and unprepared for a market that is changing fast.

92% of landlords don't use any dedicated software. 84% self-manage their own properties. And with HMRC scrutiny increasing, compliance obligations tightening under the Renters' Rights Act, and no centralised record when disputes arise, the cost of that fragility is rising.

August replaces the spreadsheet dependency, the missing paper trail, and the manual income tracking with one secure, intelligent platform, so landlords can focus on what matters.

The Company

August is the trading name of Augur Technologies Limited, a proptech founded in London in 2021. We're a team building the property management platform that the UK's 2.8 million landlords have never had.

The private rented sector manages £1.3 trillion in assets. The vast majority of landlords still run their portfolios on spreadsheets, email threads, and memory. We think that's wrong and fixable.

August is available on iOS, Android, and web. We are FCA-regulated via Plaid, and our platform covers rent tracking, expense tracking, making tax digital, compliance checklist, maintenance reporting, document management, smart reminders, property insights, property reports, and AI property assistant.

We are headquartered at 1 Mark Square, London EC2A 4EG and backed by angel investors with a track record that includes Trustpilot, Glassdoor, and Onfido.
